what does it mean to be bonded at a job

[ReedDella]

To be bonded at a job means that a third-party insurance company has provided a fidelity bond, a policy protecting the employer from financial loss through employee dishonesty like theft or fraud. To secure this, you must pass background and credit checks to prove your trustworthiness, upon which the bonding company guarantees the employer reimbursement—up to a set amount—for any loss you cause.
